Alleluia! This was the first time when during reading I didn't feel like I was swallowing two-year-old bread. In other words, it started to be at least a little bit (not very much, but I appreciated it anyway) catching.
Dimmesdale is beggining to be sympathetic to me. As a person who "betrayed" his belief and now suffers by the awareness of his sin is he portrayed pretty well. Also I kind of like Chillingworth, 'cause I've always liked this type of "evil genius," all these evil sorcerers, scientists and so. :) And, in the dialogue in the end of some chapter it looks like he actually suffered more than it seemed. On the other hand, I don't like Hester. I know that this kind of strong, tenacious, good, kind... woman probably wasn't cliché when Hawthorne wrote this book, but I can't help it - single-coloured characters in real sceneries bore me.

yeah, I agree with you...
ReplyDeleteI kind of symphatize with Dimmesdale. Especially in the part when he was thinking about his status as a priest who always preach to the people, and then he has a sin and even keep it as a secret. He wanted to confess but it seems like he doesn't have a gut or something.
Well, I don't know whether he is going to confess or not..
I didn't finish my reading yet ;p
